FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. —

Your Razorback shirt might be outdated in the coming months. The University of Arkansas announced it will change the official “Razorback red" on all licensed products.

The change will only affect licensed apparel you can buy. All of the athletic team’s uniforms are already the correct new color.

In the grand color scheme, a shade darker of red doesn’t seem like all that much. But for the new rules on licensed apparel, it could mean million for clothing producers.

“The shade, the tone of the cardinal is what’s been slightly tweaked for our licensed product,” said Candace Stimmel, director of marketing and licensing.

The official cardinal red used to be Pantone 200, a color match designating a brighter red similar to the University of Georgia's color red.

Now, licensed products will be Pantone 201 – a darker shade similar to the University of Alabama’s red.

The university says it’s an effort to keep all products the same color as current Arkansas uniforms.

But David Odell, who owns a Big Red's clothing shop in Fayetteville, isn’t sure anyone will even notice.

“If you order a lot of shirts from a company and you look at them real close, you can see where they had different dye lots," Odell said. "They will be slightly different. But usually no one notices, no one cares.”

The move will not cost the university any money since it is not changing the jerseys. Though manufacturers will have to sell off all of their old, brighter red by the end of August.

The university said it spent nearly nine months deciding on the color change. It affects more than 550 companies who make licensed Arkansas products.
